retsukoOK, I love to hate Ben, and I hate to love him, but what a character, what a villain. The little smirk on his face after he manipulated Sayid into becoming his personal assassin? Priceless. (For everything else, there's MasterCharacter.)
* So now we know that Ben is NOT one of the Oceanic Six. (Or Eight.) And that means that Kate, Jack, Aaron, Sun, Sayid, and Hurley are the six... but if you don't count Aaron because he's a baby, then who's #6?!
* Why can't Ben kill Whidmore? I mean, seriously, why not? I'm all for James Bond-esque sneakery, but, yeesh, if you break into a guy's Penthouse and there's absolutely no evidence of any other security, you'd think you could go ahead and take some kind of a shot.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yebisu9 was joking that they have twin heart implants from when they were newborn twins, the kind where if one heart stops, the other heart stops, too. And we were snickering over this, and then I thought... hey... wait a minute! Please, Lost writers, do not let this cheesey theory be true!
* I'm sorry to say this, but Alex's death strengthens my conviction that Rousseau is not dead at all. Her eventual return to the story and knowledge of what has transpired will be marked by an even greater departure from sanity, I am sure. :(
* Wow, Sawyer! That was gutsy! I know you're going to die a heroic death, but don't do crazy things just yet, OK? I'd like you to stick around a little longer!
* Jack is sick?! Who cares?! Kate is useless?! Who cares?! @_@;;
* And, once again, Sayid proves his awesome kickass skills, even in the face of grief. At least now we know how he came to be Ben's mercenary.
Without spoiling anything, I can say that I love how all the mundane things in this episode, like the game of Risk, the phone ringing, and the doorbell, were suddenly filled with menace. One of the things I love about this show, besides the twists and turns, is how, against the backdrop of Island foliage and sabotage, nothing is what it seems--especially that which is most familiar to us, as viewers.
